Mercedes losing to Lexus? Why would anyone be surprised? Isn't Lexus the best selling luxury car manufacturer in the US?

I always thought the war was with MB vs BMW vs AUDI. When did audi get booted and when did Lexus take its place? I would have love to see the 4 auto companies fight it out.

Forget booting. Keep them all four? More the merrier!

I'm curious as to why they didn't test the C350. What a serious bummer. But who really cares, the W203 is a previous generation car compared to the 330i and the IS350.

Metro Card : (
Looks like MB gave them a base-*** C class. They might start doing better in these reviews if they a) give the review a car w/ some real options or b) make these options standard equipment!!!

Am i missing something? According to those scans THEY DID have a C350, and it still got beaten by the Lexus. MB could only muster 268hp the Lex is over 300!! Forget the C230, it shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as the IS. Its competition is Jettas and Honda Civics.

I didn't even check the pics to the scans. I just went by the thread title

But the latter still stands, the W203 is a previous generation car compared to the IS350 and the E90.

Didn't bother to read it since the op titled as C230 vs 330i vs is350. You retard

Even with C350 SS I wouldn't be surprised to see C350 SS ended up last since the MT guys never own any of them. They base their decisions on numbers and short couple days of test runs.

Day-to-day reliability is better with Lexus but chassis integrity is way better with MB. Drive all three after 2 years you'll know what I am talking about.
